Virtual Studio
Technology and its acronym VST refer to an
interface standard for connecting audio synthesizer and
effect plugins to audio editors and hard-disk recording
systems. VST and similar technologies allow the
replacement of traditional recording studio hardware
with software counterparts. VST plug-ins are software
modules that can take the form of real-time instruments
or effects. Thousands of plugins exist, making VST the
most widespread audio plugin architecture.

Borth Audio has
released Grate Bass Lite,free version of
Grate Bass with two of the five playing styles available
from the full version.

Grate Bass Lite is a virtual
instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt giving you
usual and unusual scratchy sounds of an electric
bass played with a pick. Grate Bass Lite is the FREE
version of Grate Bass (which features three more
sound patches and four additional effects). The
output of the bass was recorded using a DI and in
addition a large diaphragm condenser microphone was
pointed 30 cm above the neck to record the scratchy
pick sounds separately. Grate Bass Lite lets you
choose how to blend the two sound sources together.
All sound patches range from notes E1 to C4 and have
two velocity layers with three round robins each.

Featuring:

- Two playing styles: Normal picking
and scratching fast along strings
- Separate volume control for DI and Mic signal
- Note Attack and Release time control
- Effects: Distortion, Bass Amp Simulation (4×10)
and Reverb

Total number of samples:

- 792 (@44.1 kHz/24 bit, mono)

System Requirements:

- Full version of Native Instruments
Kontakt 5.4 or above (does NOT work with free
Kontakt Player!)
- 360 MB of free hard drive space

This fantastic choir sound was made by the first
stand-alone sampler ever made. This was not a cheap
machine at 10.000 USD but then again it came equipped
with 128 kb or RAM.

No gigabytes or megabytes here, but
kilobytes. Two times the memory of a Commodore 64 by the
way; 64 kilobytes reserved for the lower section and 64
kilobytes reserved for the upper section.

A total of around two seconds of
sampling time at 8 bit/27 KHz and still it can sound
this amazing.

We are constantly amazed by the way the
pioneers in sampling was able to make such beautiful
sounds using a minimum of technology. Those were the
days when you had to push technology and push your brain
to make it work.

So here it is. The classic Male Voices.

All 49 keys were sampled and looped at
the exact same loop points as the original. Some of the
original parameters are included in the GUI but we
cheated as well and created an ADSR envelope for both
the upper and lower sounds. And we decided to put in a
simple reverb as well.

The GUI may not look too pretty, but
hey; the sound is there and it is free of charge.

This
Kontakt library
(Requires Kontakt 5.6.5 Full - won't work in Kontakt
Player) started as a personal project for
myself, then evolved into something else.
The library contains samples of about 150 old,
vintage, obscure, rare and hard to find drum
machines.

The samples have been around since
forever, I believe, I simply started to organize
them a bit.

What has been done:

- Each kit has been mapped in a
General Midi
format (more or less, many old drum machines only
have 4-5 sounds)
- Each kit has been divided into
5 groups: Kicks,
Snares, Hats, Cymbals and Toms- Each Group has custom controls for
tuning, panning and
volume- Each kit has
custom graphics

It tooks
hours and hours
getting the kits ready. The Collection is free but
please consider a small donation, 5 dollars
suggested.

Flintpope has released Bittle
plugin, a free demo instrument that includes some of
the sounds from the Bittle soundset for Logic’s

Flintpope’s Sculpture presets for Logic and
Mainstage for Mac.

This plug-in instrument of course
works on any platform and is free too.

Featuring 16 of the 24 BRITTLE
Sculpture presets, this VST/AU gives more than just
a flavour of the full soundset. Whether you just
want an unusual effect for a track or want to dive

well in a modern ballet or an indie horror film… try
BRITTLE.

The BRITTLE plug-in takes GUI
inspiration from a painter’s palette and features 16
coloured buttons that light-up red when live; the
instruments loads with buttons 1 and 16 active.
Activate any combination up to 16 buttons to get

HY-Plugins has
released HY-Lofi2, an effect plugin that
processes audio to give it a low fidelity sound.

For this update, Tadashi Suginomori has implemented VST3
support for Windows, and Mac users will be happy to see
the plugin in now also available for Mac OSX 10.8 or
higher (VST/VST3/AU).

HY-Lofi2 combines a bit quantizer,
distortion/waveshaper unit, and a filter section with
high pass and low pass filters.

Two new quantizer modes have been added
for a total of 4. With various quality options and a
knob for bit depth, it offers a nice range of
degradation from subtle to complete audio destruction.
Mode 3 and 4 are modified versions of the original two
modes. While they may sound similar, they respond in
different ways when using various quality and bit depth
values.

If
woofer-worrying WAVs are you're what you're after,
you've come to the right place.

This SampleRadar collection is full
of super-low-end basslines, kicks and tone drops,
all ready to load into your DAW.

What you need to know

The sine and sub samples are divided
into three main folders: Basslines, Kicks and Tone
drops.

All the samples are supplied as WAV
files so can be imported directly into your DAW or
sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free,
you're welcome to use the samples in your music in
any way you like - all we ask is that you don't
re-distribute them.
